Is Pale Moon even considered secure anymore?
I doubt they’re able to keep up these days honestly…
Don’t forget Waterfox, privacy centric version of Firefox.
Or LibreWolf
Can someone inform me what’s wrong with the brave browser?
It’s chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It’s quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.
Is Firefox not also using chromium?
No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.
I did not know this, thank you.
Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.
Firefox uses their own engine, Gecko
- Chromium based (which may be a pro or con depending on who you ask).
- Their CEO has made homophobic political donations and resigned from Mozilla due to backlash for it.
- They have been caught doing shady things like inserting affiliate links into the address bar suggestions.
- They use their browser to push their crypto currency, news and other garbage.
I was ok with 1 and opted out of 3 and 4 but had no idea about 2
Hahaha I use their crypto to buy crypto I want so that’s the reason I asked in the first place. But I guess I’ll go back to Firefox, which is the browser I prefer anyways.
These reasons are definitely an eye opener.
Chromium based
Chromium cringe
Didn’t the dude who runs palemoon get real mad about some business donating money to black causes or something? Not a great look.
fuck, knock that one down a rank too
Fuck google and all that, but also fuck using “mental illness” as a derogatory term.
i thought it’s supposed to be one of those memes that parody lgbt-phobic images about genders (see attached image), but still, make sure to avoid that usage
I’d never seen that other meme, and it could be a parody, but lets be fair - ableism and saneism are absolutely rampant on all sides of the political spectrum, and it’s probably a coincidence rather than a parody…
My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I’ll remove it if anyone asks.
Just something to keep in mind for the future.
Of course! Thanks for the heads up.
Yea! I prefer collecting mental illnesses like Pokemon to detract from people who actually have them!

I know it used to be cross-platform, but at this point its clearly proprietary and is only available on macOS and iOS.
Apple uses their walled garden approach to limit a lot of things, including forcing all browsers on iOS to use WebKit to render. So it really limits other browsers ability to compete with Safari because they can’t as easily add new features (including better access to ad-blocking). That’s finally going to be changing, but mostly because of being forced to do so by the European Union. Apple is just fairly anti-competitive in certain ways is all, and certainly has been with their browser for a long time.
I didn’t make the meme, but closed-source browsers should all be a no-go. Plus, OS exclusivity is never great.

WebKit being open source is great, but that doesn’t guarantee anything built on top of it (Safari) is private or secure

A potato is better than chrome.
Brave and chromium are Fully open source though (I know this meme is about the dominance of Chromium based browsers not open Source or not)
Find that hard to believe
There’s a distinct lack of Librewolf in this image
Whats the blue looking firefox icon in the top row?
Firefox Nightly
